Did you hear about the deal at TDS?

[choochoo]

FYI

I called the Orlando Mall and they said that they were participating. If anyone wants to call a
a store near them here is a link to the TDS locations. Sorry, but I don't know how current this site is!!

Does this have something to do with Walt's birthday? What an odd promotion! How do they benefit from this?

the shirts we got here in Illinois were Mickey, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto in color against a black and white scene of the castle. they're pretty cute, but only one style.

Can we get the passes with the promotion at the Downtown Disney Store or at the airport? Is the Orlando Mall easy to get to if that is the only place that has the promotion? Thanks.

I just returned from buying 10 5-day park hoppers at the Disney Store in Joliet, IL - about 2-1/2 hours from where I live. I called the Orland Park store first, and good thing I did - as they didn't have as many adult hoppers as I needed. I felt a little nervous with $2100 worth of tickets and $400 in gift cards in my purse, as well as the 10 t-shirts, but I made it home safely.

I had no problem purchasing 3 4 day hoppers at TDS in Bloomingdale, IL and getting the deal.

I got all excited because the CM said I could use the gift cards to buy Disney Dollars, but her manager made her check it and I could not use it for that purpose. I'm still happy!

 

[6xmum]

have a friend pick them up and send them to me? That would be ideal as my DH has forced me to live in NJ, far far away from my normal habitat (in the Chicago area) and even farther from Florida! I could place the order (using my DC card and credit card) and then she could just go get them. Anyone have any idea if this would work?

I went to the Disney Store today, just to make sure they weren't doing the special here in Texas . He went back and checked on it, and came back and said there were only 4 stores in the promotion, 2 in Chicago, and 2 in New York State.

I know this conflicts with everything I've read here, but I just thought I'd pass along his response.

 

[karyn]

Do you remember where in New York State the Disney Stores are and if not what what town in Texas did you go to that they gave you this info? I'll give them a call. Thanks

We are driving to Disney in two weeks. I called two Disney stores in Orlando and both are participating in the promotion.

Florida Mall Orlando (407) 240-4411 (I didn't get directions to this store)
Orlando Fashion Square (407) 898-5000 (this store seems to be 4-5 miles off an I-4 exit)

Hi,

I looked on the Disney Store website and found 3 stores in the Orlando area. I called and spoke with an employee who stated that all 3 of the Orlando stores are participating in this offer but he did not know how long it would last. My brother left for a conference in Orlando today so I gave him money to buy 2 adult hopper passes since I will be in WDW in Nov. I will let you know if he was successful or not!!

My Dad picked up three 5-Day Hoppers for me at the TDS at River Oaks Mall in Calumet City, IL. He received 3 gift cards and t-shirts! I am so glad I waited to purchase my tickets. Now all I have to do is go pick them up (3 1/2 hour drive). Thanks to all who posted on this great deal.

I just called my cousin in Florida and she is going to pick me up 2-5 day hopper passes. The CM at the Disney store in St. Petersburg was so friendly and helpful on the phone. She said the promo was to go till Thanksgiving Week.

I am so excited and happy about this sale!

If anyone has already bought these park hoppers - what is the fine print on the Gift Certificate. It seems some have been able to use them to turn around and buy other park hoppers. Do they state for TDS merchandise only?

 

[mkandk]

I'd like to hear the fine print, too. We've got 4 adult passes to buy and I'm not sure whether to wait until our trip and buy them in Orlando, or just order them from a discount site. If there is any way we can use the gift cards to lower our cost in the parks...if we could use them for dining? Also, how long are the gift cards good for?

It's a good promotion anyway, in my opinion. I hope they decide to go nationwide with it at some point.

Thanks very much for the tip on this promotion. DW saw this thread and called my attention to it. We drove to a nearby TDS today and bought three 4 day hoppers (adult) (they didn't have the DC 5 day hoppers I wanted, but suggested we buy the 4 days and then upgrade them at WDW guest relations in order to get the benefits of the deal. We also were given three T-shirts (they gave us kids's T-shirts, but said we could trade them in for adult T-shirts when/if they get their new supply in). We used the $50 gift cards to buy $150 worth of DD for our upcoming trip. What a great deal. We just needed one extra day on our old park hopper plus passes for our upcoming trip, but these prices are way too good to pass up--especially since we are DVC and will have many trips in the future.

BTW, they were going through passes like water and said that they could not order any. They get a certain allotment of each type and that is it. I would assume they may get some more in, but they sold a total of 15 park hopper passes jsut in the 15 minutes I was in line. It takes a long time to do the transaction, but it is well worth it. Thanks to you and thanks to my DW for callin gthis to my attention!

I just called two Chicago stores that my friend lives by to see if they were doing it so she could pick them up for me.
The first store was the Stratford Square mall in Bloomingdale, IL and they told me that they still had the deal going on and they had been told it was a "limited time promotion" and thought it would go until Nov 24th. The 4 day park hopper for adult was $203.52 child $161.12. She stated $50 gift card came only with adult ticket and they were out of adult t-shirts but had kid ones for buying the child park hopper tickets.

The second store I called was Woodfield mall in Shaumburg, IL and they said they had the special going on and that he had been told that it ran through NOV. He also mentioned they were closing the current location today and moving to another place within the same mall.

I plan to have my friend pick these up for me and I am giving her one of the $50 gift cards for doing it for me. I hope this info helps and everyone can find someone to get tickets for them!
